IBM iSCSI Client for Linux Installation and Configuration Instructions

Recompiling the iSCSI client

The drivers supplied in the package were compiled for Red Hat Linux 6.2.1 (kernel 2.2.19-6.2.1). The iSCSI client has only been tested with kernel 2.2.19-6.2.1. Kernel versions earlier than 2.2.19 are known to produce severe problems. Kernel versions after 2.2.19 have not been tested.

Note:

The iSCSI tools are supplied as binary only and have been compiled to run with Red Hat Linux 6.2.1 (kernel 2.2.19-6.2.1).

If you choose to recompile the iSCSI client code:

1. Change to the driver directory.
2. Type the following commands and press Enter after each:
   make clean
   make
   
3. Copy the new iscsiclient.o or iscsiclientsmp.o file to the ibmiscsi-v.r.m directory (for example, cp iscsiclient.o ..).
